Race is a social construct. Its a construct that we as society conceptualize and define according to physical attributes, traits, culture etc. It has nothing to do with genetics or biology which is different.
For example,
"Black" and "White" are racial social constructs.
These are superficial constructs that do not tell the whole story of the biology of the person's ethnicity or culture which is why I said I would personally ask someone what race they identify as versus subjectively giving my own interpretation based on their skin tone or physical appearance.
